Middle East spotted thread

Forgot to post this a while ago, makes your 6x6 look like a kids toy.

Love to roll up to the Burj al Arab in this!

Just appeared a few days ago at the villa opposite mine...

Spyker C8.... very nice, I remember spotting one of those on the M25 about 10 years ago and then having a look around the interior of one at a motor show, love the steering wheel!

Good spot, can't imagine there's too many of them here.

[Gaffer]

Ah so that's what it is.

I thought it was a Corvette with a crap Veyron-esque body kit attached.

It's in the villa opposite mine and hasn't moved in days.

In fairness, if it ever does move, it will sound like a Corvette..

[dxbtiger]

Don't understand the appeal, it's a right dogs dinner imo.

Agreed. Horrible.

In fairness, what Claire has spotted is actually a C8 Laviolette with the 400bhp Audi V8 lump, it's not the most cohesive of things from the outside.

As with almost all cars, I much prefer the spyder

Preferably in C8-T form with the twin-turbo 525bhp motor

I suppose it's still an acquired taste, but I've always rather liked Spyker

Lotus Evora in Madinat last night - for some reason the front wheel looks bent:



On the way to Justin Timberlake was this - not a clue, looks like a Bentley /Aston ripoff badge:



and my favourite - a mini Beetle, just my size actually:

Tut tut Claire.... you can tell you're not working at Saluki any more lol

The middle pic is a Hyundai Veloster with a bodykit...

[Gaffer]

LOL

I know, it's all about shoes and handbags now

And besides why would I pay attention to a Hyundai....

To be fair, I haven't took any notice of anything motor related this year, including my beloved MotoGP.

512TR - The Greens



Jaguar F Type Coupe - DIFC

[Asterix]

Love the Ferrari - great proper fezza shape.

I've seen a few of the Jags now - they still look like a big S2000 from the front

[Impspeed]

It's not as exotic as a Spyker, but I have so much want for this!

I can imagine it being a cool winter cruising car and is about as immaculate as immaculate gets, but for 60K it's a bit steep (for what I can afford)

Spotted this last weekend quite well done

[XB70]

Not sure if anyone on here but a red Lancia Intergrale down the Marina one evening this week (may have been Mon or Tues) - very very nice car - I was in a white Camry in front so easy to spot me :-)

Friend saw the police supercars last night (all of them apparently) and was behind the Veyron. Only in DXB!

[XB70]

Ferrari f360 under a cover in Arabian Ranches. Saw today when looking at places. Anyone here?

[K50 DEL]

I too saw a Veyron last night... an all white affair on a Dubai "O" plate
Was travelling very slowly through meadows, not seen it around here before and only the 2nd I've ever seen on the move.

[Gaffer]

Need to come up to the Jumeirah end of town then...always buzzing about.
There is a coffee / shisha place just before my road and that always has a *** car park full of veyrons / ferraris / lambos / mercs etc

• * when I say car park, I mean they park off the road, on the pavement, in the parking bays and also double park on the first lane of Beach Road...its a complete piss take.
